RJR News reports Baptist Minister, Rev Carl Johnson has accused #Jamaican pastors of being overcome by greed when they sought to influenced their congregants to invest in get rich quick schemes that have come crashing down.
Reverend Johnson was speaking in the wake of reports that US law enforcement authorities have ordered the extradition of OLINT's principal David Smith to answer multiple criminal charges including wire fraud in a Orlando Court.
A US based pastor, who was named in a report in Sunday's edition of the Sunday Gleaner, reportedly invested more than US$4 million in the scheme but found out later that the money he intended to use to build a hospital vanished.
"I thought that we were seeing early signs and worrying signs of greed penetrating the defenses and for that, as far as I am concerned, is something unsavoury,"
"We were almost no different from someone who would wage a bet, I don't think it was deliberate but to use a very interesting word, discernment, perhaps they were not as careful because at the heart of some of what I was hearing was greed. How can you expect to be getting this amount per month? Where in the world was that replicated," Reverend Johnson said.
